  Do your best to let the anger go or it will enable the WTS to keep poisoning your life.

  That's the key. Forgiveness is therapeutic. Forgiving your mom for how she raised you does not mean that you are condoning it. It only means that you have accepted the fact, and can get on with your life.

  i know i shoulda posted this in 'scandals and cover ups' but i thought i would get a better response here.. i dont know how true this is but i heard that there is a group of very well off former bethelites who donates a lot of money.

  to the watchtower, and in turn, are deemed 'honorary bethelites' for life.

  privately of course.. is this true?

  Totally unchristian...The Christian way would be to send an anonymous gift to the CO with a short note of thanks.

  He listened to Rutherford too much!

  "Would it be scripturally proper for them to marry and begin to rear children? No, is the answer, which is supported by the scriptures .. I will be far better to be unhampered and without burdens, that they may do the Lord's will now, as the Lord commands, and also be without hindrance during Armageddon.. Those .. who now contemplate marriage, it would seem, would do better if they wait a few years, until the fiery storm of Armageddon is gone." {Face the Facts pages 46-50}

  Feb. 15th WT - WT Society says DFed Ones are Lawless- Just Like Demons

  by flipper in

  i would assume that some or a good number of us here as normal humans in this society - consider " lawless " actions to include murder , robbery, extortion, rape, child abuse, war , terrorism, etc.

  the wt society has their own definition of what's considered " lawless ".

  anything that's considered a disfellowshipping offense in the jehovah's witnesses is now considered " lawless ".

  I wonder if they are talking like this because more and more people are being df'd for knowing the truth about the organization, and then they are exposing it to their JW family.

  CO's only stay in their circuit for 3 and a half years before being reassigned. So you'd have to start the brown nosing all over again with the new CO that comes to town.

  Green handshakes are VERY common especially with DO's and CO's. From my experience the ones that do this are usually the ones that get parts at the assemblies and conventions. If you get in good with a CO, your set. You'll get any priviledge that you want. The problem is that you have to do it every 3 and a half years.

  Ask for history lessons about the destruction of Jerusalem in 607BCE. Let him know you need this to have solid proof. Don't accept this to be glossed over. You might wake your teacher up or at least plant a seed.

  Definitely ask about this. They will say they need to do some research on the matter. In between, go and do your research on the matter too. Here is a GREAT article about it: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/607-1914.php

  If you want much deeper info on it, the book "Gentile times Reconsidered by Carl Ooloff Johnson is a comprehensive indepth look at how Jerusalem COULD NOT have been destroyed in 607. It's an intense book, but it will prepare you to answer any refutation that the Watchtower can throw at you.

  They asked if they could say "Cheese Wiz" instead, and they just got a blank stare. Party on!
